Perast is an old town in the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro. It is situated a few kilometres northwest of Kotor and is noted for its proximity to the islets of St. George and Our Lady of the Rocks. According to the presumptions of the archaeologists, the first settlements appeared in the area of Perast in the Neolithic. There are also monuments of the Illyrian, Roman and early Christian periods. The city was founded by the Illyrians, named after one of the local tribes; Pirusti. The first memories of Perast refer to 1336. At that time there was a small fishing village, which had a shipyard, and there were always several commercial and fishing boats in the harbor. When the small village finally became a city, its inhabitants thought about reinforcements. The fortress of the Holy Cross and a dozen defensive towers were built. Perast also had free trade with the Republic of Venice. Because of this, the city grew and was enriched: only in the 18th century. For centuries, 20 palaces were built in Baroque style, 17 Catholic and two Orthodox churches. It was only in 1944 that the city gained independence in Yugoslavia and became one of the administrative areas of the Montenegrin Republic. Since 2006, the city has finally become part of an independent Montenegro. We visited Montenegro and Perast on a day trip from Dubrovnik in the summer of 2022.
